[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6781220, member: 4937"] a) Technically, he stole it. R2-D2 even objects, but Luke keeps the controls on manual to prevent R2-D2 from returning the ship to the rebellion. b) Luke gets away with it because he's Luke. You aren't about to cashier or court martial the veritable living symbol of the Rebellion, the guy that destroyed the first death star, and who - by being a Jedi Knight - ties your rebellion back to the Old Republic and lends it legitimacy over a single snub fighter. c) In addition to the reasonable in world justification, Luke gets away with it because he's a PC and enjoys plot protection. PC's can get in trouble over things, but no GM that stays a GM for long forces a character to retire over as minor of an issue as going AWOL in the aftermath of a chaotic battle when any sort of reasonable in world excuse (see b) exists to avoid it. The golden boy may get chewed out by his CO just to remind the player he's in a coherent world, but ultimately you aren't going to stop the story over something like this. [/QUOTE]
